what to do first...?

I've got a long list of projects I'd LOVE to work on this weekend. I'm feeling pretty crafty right now and all these projects are all over the spectrum - knitting, sewing, hair bow making, jewelry making, etc. I really should learn to focus on just one thing at a time. Oh well.

Also this weekend, We've got to get some progress made on de-cluttering this house. We decided that we will work on the final touches of getting our bedroom back in shape - so mostly just getting the last of the clothes put away somewhere. Next, we will tackle the kitchen. My main project in there will be to get the table and shelves cleared off of all the junk that has gathered and maybe clean out the pantry. There's so much stuff in there that we have likely forgotten about and is probably stale by now anyway. Time to get it out of this house!

So on top of my house cleaning that has to get done, I'm wanting to do all sorts of fun stuff. I'm being realistic knowing that it won't all get done... but I do want to at least accomplish something. I should probably start with the netbook case that I've been working on... it's so not going well though. I tried following the pattern, but it's not written out very well... because I'm totally missing something. I'm going to be having to make some adjustments to not waste what I've done so far. We'll see how that goes.

I also need to hem a skirt for a friend, and hem a pair of my own pants.

I need to make these earrings for another friend.

And I need to make some hair bows - a big sister/little sister combo.

I'd like to work on this dress that my sister asked me to make for her, but I haven't heard back from her about any plans to get together - so this probably won't happen. I'd also like to make one for myself, so maybe I'll gather the materials for mine at least.

I had saved this pattern in my stash awhile back, and now would like to try making it for my girls. I've got the pattern printed out... next I just need to cut and tape it together. Then choose my fabric for the top. :) We all know that's the tough part... ;)

I'd also like to make this skirt for myself... the pattern has been sitting around here for almost 2 years now. I'm having trouble picking out which fabric to use as well.

Let's see what else...

I want to make some more progress on my Garter Stitch Swing Cardi. It's kind of taking awhile because I keep laying it down to work on smaller, quicker projects.

And speaking of smaller, quicker projects. I need to make another of these hats for a friend at work. Also, I need to make some flowers to go on a few of the hats that I have already finished.

So you see, that's quite a long "would like to do" list and I know I won't finish it all - but maybe having this little list will help me work on things in the right order and get at least some progress made. :)
